Former Microsoft AI engineer Ibtihal Aboussad has courageously interrupted the company’s 50th anniversary celebration and accused Microsoft of supporting Genocide in Gaza, according to the Associated Press.
The Moroccan engineer has interrupted Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman’s speech and accused the company of providing the Israeli military with artificial intelligence technologies during its war in Gaza.
“Mustafa, shame on you.” “You claim that you care about using AI for good, but Microsoft sells AI weapons to the Israeli military. Fifty-thousand people have died and Microsoft powers this genocide in our region,” Aboussad shouted and paused Suleyman’s speech.
It is worth mentioning that co-founder Bill Gates and former CEO Steve Ballmer were among the attendees of the celebration.
Suleyman calmly attempted to de-escalate the situation and said, “Thank you for your protest, I hear you.”
However, Aboussad shouted and said that Suleyman and “all of Microsoft” had blood on their hands.
As a response, Microsoft has fired Aboussad and accused her of making “hostile, unprovoked, and highly inappropriate accusations” against Suleyman.
Importantly, Israel significantly depends on AI models from Microsoft and OpenAI to determine bombing targets during its wars in Gaza and Lebanon, according to an investigation by the Associated Press News Agency.
Since the beginning of Hamas-Israel War in Gaza, the Israeli occupation has killed at least 50,695 Palestinians and wounded 115,338 more, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
